IMO PSPC(Performance Standard for Protective Coatings)

Protective coatings are essential for ease of maintenance and keeping ships in good condition. In order to maximize the effectiveness of the coatings, it is important to improve the quality of coating application at ship construction stage.
Thus, International Maritime Organization(IMO) adopted Performance Standard for Protective Coatings so called PSPC on 8 December 2006 at MSC82.
PSPC would be made mandatory by the amended SOLAS Reg.3.2 of Chapter II-1 adopted by IMO at the same time.

For the details of PSPC requirements, please refer to the following ClassNK Guideline for PSPC.
